SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE. The last General Monthly Meeting of this Society at their house, Lincoln's-inn-fields, was well attended, but chiefly by Clergy. The Bishop of Gloucester was in ,the Chair. There were present—the Akh deacons of. St. Alban's , Essex,' Ccolchestette.;,-The Rev. Drs. Spry, Chandler, Vivian, &c. ; Rev. Messrs. Benson, Ward, Norris, Basil Woodd, Hale, &e. &c. The moat important-part of the proceedings consisted in the reading of a long and highly, interesting letter from the Bishop of Calcutta, in which his Lordship detailed various particulars respecting the state of Christianity in India and the Island of. Ceylon. —One point noticed very strikingly xas, that nothing was found more' to retard the diffiision of Christianity among the natives than the variety of dif ferent sects among those who came to teach them. A very favourable report was made by his Lordship of the state of the Missionary College at Calcutta, which is now coming into very efficient operation. Several communications were read from the Clergy in the West Indian Islands, giving very pleasing and favourable accounts of the progress there making in the instruction of the Negroes. Part of a Report was also read from the District Committee at Quebec. Many new members were elected, and several valuable bequests announced to the Society, particularly one front the late Bishop of Durham. EDUCATION OF TIIE PEOPLE. . „ At a time when so much is said respecting the march of intellect, and so man y accusations heaped upon the Clergy, as being its bigotted opposers, we trust it may not be , miSplaced to lay before our readers one or two brief extracts from a ,most luminous and able speech bearing urn these topics, dcliVcred by that learned and; scientific prelate the IliShop of Bris tol, at the last year's anniversary of the National Schools at Bristol. This address, we believe, has never 'been published, except in:the It eport of the Local Committee, which is: printed in a late number of that valuable ecclesiastical and theological miscel lany the Cheistiao Remembrancer. These extracts, we think, will require no comment. " Among other charges," his Lordship observed, which had been brought against the Clergy of the Established Church (and all present knew that these charges had been sufficiently numerous), it had been said that they were unfriendly to the general educa tion of the people. It required no small share of hardihood to make this charge at a time when four fifths of the Clergy (he believed that he spoke within compass in mentioning: that proportion) were contri buting their money or their labour, or both, to the support of schools for the education of the poor. He alluded to the &et, not with the view of claming any merit to the effigy on that account (they were only di sc h arg i ng t h e l ri dpty, of which the religious instruc tion of the lounger members of their flock formed' an appointed and most important part), but for. the,pur pose of showing that the adversaries of the Church were -less solicitous respecting the triith than the -num ber of their :accusations." Perhaps,. however, when it:was said that the Clergy were unfriendly to the general education of the people, the meaning may be, that they were un friendly to certain schemeS which had been proposed for , the accomplishment of that .objeet, To theaharge so limited they wool& without hesitation plead guilty. They were convinced that, unless a system of edupa, lion had religion for its basis, unless it was addressed, not merely to the intellectual faculties, but also td the moral nature of man, there .could. be no security that lie would not pervert the knowledge which he might acquire to his oWli'inkiry'and that of society," , Not that. the , Clergy objected to the !in struction of the'meelianie and artisan in those brinieheti 9f natural and Mechanical , philosophy which are neeted with 'their respective occupations, but to the principle of substituting scientific or literary acquire ment in the place of iuoral imirovement, as the ulti mate object of education." , The, Bishop . ; ton eluded by observing, that," At a time when the Clergy were held up as Using their utmost endeavours to ob struct the march .of the human intellect, it became ne cessary for them to show, not for the purpose Of assum ing merit, but in' self-defence, that they were exerting themselves, lei; Obstinately, perhaps, but not less zea lously or effectually, than others, to ameliorate the general condition. of the people."

A patent has been taken out by Lieutenant Molyneux Simld ham, R. N. for a new method of working the sails of 'veisels, by which manual 'labour is lessened to its: •' minimum." This is effected by causing the masts:,to revolve on pivots, or, for greater security, on circular sweeps. The masts may be similar to ordir ry riiaafe, with' a standing rigging, but it is preferred to construct them with three, four, or five poles, forming the .outlines of .a..pyratriid; their lower ends being secured to cross.treca, whit;h . become the base of the pyramidal mast, and their upper ends united at the top to a block of wood, composing either a cap e to receive a top-mast, or a mast head, according : to the nature of the rig—ad the yards and sails are affixed within the pyramidal mast, and revolve with it. Fly this arrangement, all the standing rigging, and almost the whole of the working gear of a square rigged vessel are dispensed with, and it is in the power of the man at the helm alone, without any aid whatever, to put the vessel about. In fore and aft rigged yes eels the disagreeable and oftentimes dangerous expedient of jibing the sail, is dispensed with ; as, for instance, in wearing a cutter, the bowsprit would be brought round over the stern. A vessel of five tons burthen, lugger rigged on this plan, will be at Ports mouth, in a few days, from Salcombe, and will pass up the Arun del, Canal to London, by which the invention will be fully exem plified ; her lugs will not require dipping, and the sails are re duced by reef bands attached to the foot of each. The plan is well adapted to casting and other week-handed vessels navigating in intricate.chennels.

VEXING, MAY 0, 1826. In looking back on the events of the last few days, and contrasting the present state and prospects of the country with its situation at the commencement of last week, we have ample subject for congratulation and hope. Within that short period disturbances of an alarming extent, and threatening the most frightful con sequences, had broken out in the populou s di s t r i c t s o f I_.:ttleti lrc, being, the result of the di s t ress e s to w hi c h the neunif a cturing classes had b een s u bj e c te d f rom t h e s iligh price, of food and the want of employment. The measures proposed by his Majesty's MiniSters to allowin g th e cor n now. in reduce existing prices, by bond to be brought into consumption, and to secure the country from being 'to any calamity during the recess, either from the scarcity, or, excessive price, of that essential article, were resisted in Parliament S DAY AT ONE O CLOCK.

The course of events, however, took a more favourable turn than could have been expected. The precautionary measures adopted by his Majesty's GoVerninent for the suppresaion, of the disturbancei, aided by the - generous efforts made in this metropolis, fOr the relief 'of the distressed dis tricts, had au immediate effect in preventing farther acts of outrage, and in promoting the return of 'order and tranquillity. The subscription set on foot, from the magnitude of the sum promptly given, was immediately made available to the relief of various places, and bids fair to be productive of good to au extent which could hardly have been anticipated. His Majesty's Ministers, with a firmness which does ' them the highest honour, determined not to depart from the spirit of the measures which they had proposed to Parliament ; although for the sake of removing the unnecessary fear of the coim- - try Gentlemen that the general ,question of the Corn Laws would be prejudiced by their adoption---4 1 e9 submittedto modify them. The alarm of the Landed Interests immediately subsided ; the Resolution/ were carried unanimously, and the Convulsion which probably would have ensued from an angry discussion of 'this subject i n • Parlia ment, has been happily averted. Thus relief; and with it tranquillity at the present, and security for the future, seem to have been, we may almost saY unexpectedly obtained; while every hope may reason ably be entertained that returning employment will effectually restore to the industrious manufac turers the comforts of which they have bee" lately deprived. As we were in the foremost rank of Jo"' nalists, who offered an opinion upon the C° ll duct of the Country Gentlemen, in resisting the measures proposed by the Government on this ow sion, we feel it due to them, .to offer our tribute 9f . moat praise for their subsequent concurrence Lwthe measures of Ministers—measures which will accom plish a temporary purpose, but will leave untouched he great and important Question of the Corals"' It is with feelings of the deepes t regret we ha ---....--- to announce that dispatches were received yesterdsY by Earl BATRURST .from Sierra Leone, cOntaining the melancholy intelligence of the death of his Ex - Colon pouncing y - ' I -and,Governor,in-Chief of our Settlements General Major-General Touiza,..
